Myriade is a charming gem in downtown, at a stone's throw from my studio. Usually a downtown location, next to Concordia means convenient and just good enough. Is Myriade convenient? Yes! Is Myriade just good enough? No-way! I think this place is the location of the best cafe mocha that I have had in my life and it met Henna's approval for espresso (Considering her two espresso allonge habit a day for the fall term, it is high praise indeed). I'm admittedly fairly easy going when it comes to filtered coffee, but I have a weakness for how they prepare each one individually. The prices are reasonable for all of the care that goes into making each cup of delicious coffee. (I also appreciate that they find filtered coffee and their aficionados worthy of attention, unlike a certain coffee shop in Mile End that I will not name.)
Tea can also be had by the pot. Although I am growing extremely fond of black tea (I evenn have some brewing as I type), I have had several green tea blends and also oolong.
There is a limited, but workable selection of baked goods that are supplied by local bakers. I sometimes get one to accompany my coffee, but in reality, I'm there for the coffee, not the pastries.
